Blumenthal "misspoke"? Or just more Democrat lies?

I am sick of politicians lying to me. Especially Democrat politicians... all of them... need to stop lying.

May Blumenthal thinks he's a Clinton and can get a free pass on "misspeaking" which to the rest of us is a lie.

Wow, what a lot of mis-speaking this guy has done... in detail even.

Connecticut Democratic Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal has said on a number of occasions that he served IN Vietnam...

Now he says he ``misspoke'' when he said he served in Vietnam. Now he regrets suggesting on a handful of occasions that he was actually in the warzone, instead of Parris Island, SC, where the now-state attorney general served in the US Marine Corps Reserves.

We even have a video of Blumenthal talking about his military service ``in'' Vietnam.

Blumenthal in the face of overwhelming evidence that he lied, says.... `On a few occasions, I have misspoken about my service. I regret that, and I take full responsibility'

WOW, he takes full responsibility!!! That is amazing!!! I'm surprised he didn't blame this on Bush. Or he could have said Cheney was holding a gun on him and made him say... numerous times.

And how nice, a bunch of veterans showed up to support him and cheer and hoot down any media questions....

So, where they really veterans? Hmmmmm I have to wonder. I have to ask.

But it's all okay because Blumenthal did not receive any "special" treatment when he got several deferments from overseas service.

I don't care if everybody knows how old I am. I remember Viet Nam. My high school has a group on Facebook dedicated to those who went to my school who are no longer with us. After putting off reading through that tribute list for a long time, I read through it a couple of weeks ago.

I remember the boys who went over there... and... the ones who didn't come back.

Viet Nam is not funny to me. And this guy... Blumenthal "misspeaking" about it... this makes me sick and angry!!!

Where is your post about about Mark Kirk actually lying repeatedly about his military record? And what is with the repeated use of the right wing slur "Democrat politician"? And in the video you are ranting about he correctly states military record elsewhere in the same speech, but I guess this is only an issue when a Democratic politician does it and a Republican who repeatedly lies about his record and claiming awards he did not win is okay in your book?

Why would you think I'd be okay with any politician or any person lying about their military service? I'm not okay with it. Did you call the Psychic hot line? If so, you wasted your money honeychile... they told you wrong.

Democrat politicians.. yes.. I DO HAVE A PROBLEM with them.

Did you know that despite Bush calling Blanco... our Democrat governor before Katrina hit... she refused to declare a state of emergency and allow Federal help?

Did you know that ... after Katrina made landfall and NOLA was flooded and people were dying that Bush called her again and begged her to declare and she finally told Bush she would.. but she told him she needed 24 hours to "think it over".

Do you know how many people died during those 24 hours? Those hours while Blanco was.. "thinking it over"?

Do you know that Amtrak, called Democrat Mayor Nagin of NOLA and told him they were moving their trains out and offered to carry any passengers to safety... he turned them down? They had their own drivers... Nagin wouldn't have had to do much more than load the folks up on buses and drive them to the Amtrak station to save their lives.

He just couldn't be bothered to save the lives of the people who voted for him.

There are many reasons... but yes.. I have a problem... with Democrat politicians...

Decades of Democrat rule have ruined us down here. You could watch and learn from it.. but I doubt you will.

Just remember... we elected Nagin and Blanco... and many who voted for her... died... horrible deaths.

I always do love phony outrage, thank you for the amusement. So where is your post calling Mark Kirk out on his blatant lying about his military service?? And the fact you continue to use the slur of using Democrat as an adjective, you do march to the orders of your RWNJ handlers very well.

you never answered the question of where your post calling Mark Kirk on lying about his military is? You lied about the timeline of Katrina, or just did not know the actual timeline and just believed what you were told by the radical right wing. And thank you, I am always glad when a RWNJ runs rather than answer a simple question, And you never explained why you use the slur of Democrat as an adjective, a page right out of Frank Luntz' playbook.

Just because you were there does not mean you know what actually happened, actually it makes it less likely that you would have known the truth. Especially if you get all your news from Fox. And save the phony outrage, I do not find it compelling, The actual timeline shows that most of your claims were inaccurate at best

Nice diversion once again to explain away your lies when caught on them. Every source I have looked at shows the same timeline, which they all show you were wrong in what you claimed, It really is okay, I never do expect honesty from a right winger.

So you live in Metairie and don't know what happened in NOLA when Katrina came?

How is that? How can that be?

I know Metairie did not flood. Most of it at least. That's what I heard from friends who lived there. So that's a good thing.

So tell me this... would you vote for Blanco again? Do you feel that she did all she could? Were you okay with her actions when she turned the Red Cross away from NOLA after Katrina?

Did you think Blanco had a good idea when all those stranded people were hungry and thirsty... remember how HOT it was??? and Blanco wanted to have planes fly over and drop leaflets to tell everybody what a great job she was doing? You think that was a good idea? When people needed water? When babies and old folks were dying from dehydration? You think that was Blanco's best idea?

You were way on business... you didn't evacuate prior to Katrina arriving?

You think Nagin did the right thing by opening the jails and letting all the criminals out?

You think Blanco waited to declare a state of emergency to ... what? Let more people die?

You think Nagin did the right thing to refuse to evacuate people on the Amtrak when they called him and offered?

You think Blanco giving the national guard a vacation was the best thing she could have done with Katrina bearing down ...

You think they didn't evacuate the hospitals even though there was a plan on the LSU web site? You think they were right not to follow that plan?

You think letting those folks stay in the hospitals under the horrific conditions they were in so long after Katrina hit was a good idea?

I know people who died there.

I was a Democrat too. Not because I thought it through, but because everyone was Democrats then.

I saw the light and I changed. As soon as I could after ward... I went down to the courthouse and I changed from Democrat.

And a LOT less people would have died in Katrina if our state and local elected officials HAD DONE THEIR JOBS!!!!

Can I pick both of the selections? What is it with these guys? Everything is video taped, things get checked out. Why do they feel the need to lie and then when caught in it say they "misspoke"? Hillary did the same thing, others also. It's called lying to make yourself look better and if you tell the lie often enough it might become true. Do they think we are that STUPID?

I too was in school during the Vietnam era and I find it detestable that Blumenthal said he misspoke...HE DOWN RIGHT LIED so he could lock in votes! I don't believe him for one second! He makes me sick!

A lie told one time is just plain wrong, twice is a coincidence, and three and more is pathological condition. And our good Senatorial Canditate has told this "porkie" a minimum of seven times, and on tape and film no less. If this is as good as the dEMOCRAT pARTY can do, let the deities have mercey on us all. But then, he is a politician, isn't he? And every little bit of "puff" helps, eh?

And until we get a media that is not tamed and in the pocket of the current Administration, or any administration for that matter, we will have only 'puff' pieces instead of investigative reporting. Sad day when the fourth estate is in lock-step, sad for the American people, no matter what side of the isle they may sit upon.
